In the past, pre-baby, a triumph would be a really great day at work, or maybe getting an awesome price on a trip, or winning a hockey game, or something like that. So what exactly is considered a triumph these days?? A giant booger... oh, how times have changed!
Yesterday, Cameron was really stuffed up, to the point where he was having trouble eating because he couldn't breathe out of his nose. He was pretty miserable and was crying the whole time he was eating. We tried using the nasal aspirator (aka the booger sucker) but there was nothing in there to suck out. We put him in the bathroom and ran the shower, in the hopes that the warm mist would loosen up some of the stuff in the nose. It sort of worked and he was breathing better for a little while. He was still pretty miserable though. The next time he ate, he stopped to sneeze and when he did, I could see a little booger hanging out of his nose. Now that I am a mom, I have no qualms about picking a booger out of his nose, so I grabbed that little booger, thinking it might help him out. Well, out came a GIGANTIC booger. We are talking about a booger the size of a Jelly Belly jellybean. If you think that isn't all that large, think about how tiny his little nostrils are. He was breathing free and clear after that. Poor little guy!!
So that was the great excitement of last night - picking a giant booger out of Cameron's nose. I repeat... oh, how times have changed! :-P

Gotta love that. It's the little things in life... Hope he's feeling better soon! Can't wait to see you guys.
Wow--Good thing I was not eating as I read this! You need to put up warnings, Kristin, as you get so explicit!
And, of course, it reminded me of assorted brothers having beans stuck up their noses, but don't worry, your time will come for that (given who Cam's grandfather is).
Winter wonderland swirling about us here in MA as I read your blog.
Love
That was the most awesome post ever because I totally know what you mean. It cracked me up too.
